Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 inch, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 stalk, lightly crushed Lemongrass
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 small, finely chopped Shallots
Instructions
Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets and process in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Avoid over-processing into a powder.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
Add the processed cauliflower rice to the pan and stir to combine with the shallot mixture.
Pour the coconut milk and chicken broth into the pan, mixing everything well.
Stir in the turmeric powder, bay leaf, lemongrass stalk, and salt.
Adjust heat to medium-low and cover the pan with a lid. Let it simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf and lemongrass stalk before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or under a protein like grilled chicken or fish.
